New Mexico's broadband agency is seeking the release of $293 million in promised funds for 31 projects across the state. The funds are part of a larger $675 million allocation from federal Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment funds. Funding for support projects outside of directly connecting people to the internet, such as building up workforce programs, or replacing electricity poles, was put on hold after a June 2025 notice by federal officials. The National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTA) has yet to issue guidance on these support projects. This delay is delaying $21 billion in funding across 50 states and six territories.
